kh oc week day 1 - introduction

✨🎀🧵 @khoc-week

[ meet harper.. again! i’ve updated her as a whole recently so here is a new reference sheet to accompany that. i’ve altered her hairstyle, her colors, and moved the moon from her bow to her shirt collar. her personality has shifted a bit too!

lawful good - esfj - 1w2

She’s determined, helpful, empathetic, and fair. She puts her all into her tasks and can tend to get caught in her head because of it. She has a habit of being blind to other’s perspectives at times. Always trying her best to do better than she did yesterday. She’s fairly optimistic as long as she isn’t stuck in her head and it can lead her to being impulsive.

similar to: Annie Edison from Community, Emma Pillsbury and Rachel Berry from Glee, Leslie Knope from Parks and Recreation

Day 1 : Introductions!

Returning to my roots as a big KH nerd with this year’s @khoc-week ! I’ve joined in on some of the previous years and thought it would be nice to refresh some of my oc stuff and bring in some new content too!

Introducing🎉

The gang🎉 (and keyblades!)

Shiro!

My cringe fail child who continues to haunt my every thought, Shiro!! My very first OC ever, who has seen a lot of changes trough the years, but is never the less very dear to me. (Also old art jump scare AGGHH)

Shiro is basically my player character from KHUX who, instead of peacefully reincarnating into their next life, gets themselves thrown into the future with no memories of their past. Their story otherwise follows the plot of the games quite closely, as Shiro tries to reclaim their lost memories while also attempting to stop Xehanort with Sora and friends.

Personalitywise Shiro is quite snarky at times but does genuinely mean well. They especially care strongly for their friends and are ready to turn the world upside down for those they care about.

They also have quite a lot of emotional baggage from losing friends and having had to fight against the darkness for so long. Not knowing who you are is also a pretty troubling thing to go trough. But they manage it pretty well (no they don’t)

————————————————————————

Moving onto some new faces!!

Aiko and Viktor

Aiko and Viktor are two siblings who get thrown into an unexpected adventure to save the world, while simultaneously trying to discover their own paths in life.

Their adventure takes place during the 10 year gap between BBS and KH1, when the world is left without keyblade wielders to keep it safe. Someone has to step up to fill the place right? (Cue shenanigans and a bunch of teenagers trying to figure what the hell is happening with their lifes)

Merin and Tähti

Merin and Tähti are embodiments of their previous host’s/person’s light and darkness being extracted from their heart. (Similar to how Vanitas was created) The separation did however not go completely successfully and ended with the original person completely disappearing. This leaves the two to wonder the worlds by themselves as they try to understand their new existence.

The two later on in their story come across Aiko and Viktor and join forces to fight the darkness and a newly founded Organization XIII (Shiro makes a cameo yaay)

English is not my first language so please excuse any grammar mistakes you might find haha. (Also I am lazy)

(Day 1 - Day 2 - Day 3 - Day 4 - Day 5 - Day 6 - Day 7) ( @khoc-week )

Lamia has nightmares nearly every night, brought on by the curse of darkness in his heart—but lately, he's been having other dreams as well.

He's in the plaza in Radiant Garden, and someone is standing in front of him, asking him something. It's a different person every time he has the dream—Aerith, Arno, his parents, later even Xigbar shows up—and a different question: What do you fight for? What are you most afraid of? What are you most scared to lose? Who do you need to forgive? Deep, philosophical questions that aim at the heart of who he is.

He never knows how to answer. Even when he thinks about it, tries to look inside himself, really consider what he's being asked...no answer comes.

When he tells Xigbar about these dreams, the old man instantly recognizes what they are. Somehow, slowly, Lamia's keyblade is waking up, and he's starting to experience the first halting steps of his Dive into the Heart.

But it's not supposed to be this jumbled or confused, it's not supposed to happen more than once, and it's only supposed to happen around the time a wielder first holds their keyblade. All that could be chalked up to the keyblade not being at full power yet—but also, Lamia's supposed to know the answer to the questions. Is he that disconnected from his own heart, his own sense of self?

One night, what seems like a Dive into the Heart dream turns out to be a particularly nasty nightmare that ends with him plummeting through the air towards a massive stained glass floor. The glass depicts Hollow Bastion under the reign of Maleficent, a ring of Heartless symbols, the curls of smoke that appear with his curse. Major parts of the image are missing, shattered out, including his own face.

And in the center, smiling back at him, is the face of his father.

Second day of @khoc-week already! The prompt is diving into Hinata's past and hoo boy do I have a lot to talk about!

--Spoilers Spoilers!--

Hinata is the daughter of Ansem the Wise and grew up on Radiant Garden. Her mother and grandmother always had ideas of grandeur for her. She was, after all, technically a princess and the first born.

But that lifestyle and pressure never suited Hinata well. She often shirked her responsibilities of being the 'perfect princess' and instead snuck out to be with her best friends, Lea and Isa. The three of them went everywhere together and explored every inch of Radiant Garden. Hinata would get them into the castle occasionally, but after a few mishaps inside, they were banned. Well, Lea and Isa were banned. Hinata was allowed under her father's supervision, which unfortunately wasn't very often.

As the three friends got older, they began getting more and more interested in the apprentices at the castle. Hinata was familiar with most of them, even friends with a few. She spent more time in the castle library, proving she wouldn't cause a ruckus. There, she discovered books filled with old war stories and detailed diagrams of various weapons. They absolutely enthralled her, and for the first time in her life, she became passionate about something.
